Al Qaeda has launched an online magazine in English called “Inspire.” According to The Christian Science Monitor, it’s “a glossy online product that might be described as a mix of ‘Jihadists Illustrated’ and ‘Popular Jihad Science.’ You can read the entire article from The Christian Science Monitor here.

The Atlantic monthly writes, "’Inspire’includes a ‘message to the people of Yemen’ directly transcribed from Ayman Al-Zawahari, Al Qaeda's second in command, a message from Osama Bin Laden on ‘how to save the earth,’  and the cover includes a quotation from Anwar Al-Awlaki, the American born cleric who is believed to be directly connected to the attempt to destroy an airplane over Detroit by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Christmas Day." Read the entire article here.

The Telegraph in the United Kingdom writes that some of the authors include former Guantanamo inmates. You can read the entire article here.

Interestingly, “Inspire” is not really online yet, as it apparently left viruses on extremist websites, and reporters at Al Jazeera say that the logos normally associated with some al Qaeda figures are different. Read the entire article with this information at Wired.com.
